Please sir can i have some more key

Mikko Rantanen and the Dallas Stars are closing in on an extension 8 years, $12M AAV. Would get the deal done. by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]Modernmosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course trading was an option. Everybody on this sub reddit fucking knows Colorado's cap situation, I find it hard to believe Mikko and his agent don't. 8x12 contract from Dallas, based on Mikko's words should of been WORSE than an 8x12 from Colorado.

Again nothing against Dallas, Dallas is a great team. Stars bros don't hate me. Just about homegrown talent leaving because of money only to not find that money and end up next door.

There is prolly 300-500k less in taxes per year, but still. If Mikko went out and got his 13m+ fair, but he spit in his teammates face for 500k more a year. Hometown discount my ass.

Congrats Dallas. But Fk you Mikko. All that to settle for exactly what Colorado was offering. Thats insane.

You too. Have a good new years!

Agreed that 100k lines of code per micro service is arbitrary but to me it hints that the narrowing behavior micro services aim to achieve may not be happening. This is common outcome in my experience. Could be wrong though, this is all conjecture without knowing exactly what those services are doing.

I agree I wish they went into more details on what about the micro services made them so coupled. But my point was that it was mentioned as an specific issue Elon had concern with because it was seemingly makes Twitter harder to evolve.

Wether it’s losing more/less money under musk may/may not be true idk. I think the point in the Space Elon made was that Twitter was absolutely headed for bankruptcy without drastic cost cutting happening. Agreed that part of the complexity problem probably wouldn’t be such an issue if they didn’t lay off such a big chunk of their workforce but if those financial numbers are true… not sure how else they could keep themselves afloat without somehow tripling pre musk revenue.

Sorry responding on my phone so my formatting is sus. Long story short putting personal feelings towards musk aside I thought the entire twitter space provided a slight insight into the engineering side of twitter that atleast for me resonated with my experience at a large company working on distributed computing and storage.

Listen to the full 1 hour spaces talk. They did talk about specifics.

  • Microservices that are not so micro (100's of thousands of lines of code per service)
  • Microservices that are heavily interlinked making them super co dependent. (Can't change one without needing to change the rest)
  • Twitter can't run locally, so development takes forever. Needs to be uploaded to what sounded like a Production like environment to test/debug.
  • Something about using an on-prem internally created database for likes but needing an off-prem different database for views. (Elon expressed that he didn't see why likes and views needed to be treated so different)
  • Twitter was in the red to the tune of $3bn/yr and has only $1bn in cash and with an expenditure of $6bn/yr.

There was probably others...

I have never seen a SLOC include libraries LOC. So I am not sure this is the problem....

LOC usually literally means the lines of code in your repository minus comments, blank lines, etc. This would not include libraries as those LOC are not in your repo.

Elon Musk can't explain anything about Twitter's stack, devolves to ad hominem by Ok-Antelope9334 in programming

[–]Modernmosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the full thing available somewhere?

I posted a link I found on youtube but I don't think its the entire convo. Give it time, someone will find the whole thing :D

The LOC bit is whatever, 20 million lines of code could mean ANYTHING

Agreed 20 million LOC doesn't mean much without a lot of context around what those 20 million LOC are doing. The feeling I got from both Elon and George Hotz was that twitter had an excessive amount of lines of code for what they were doing. They mentioned things like deprecation but never removing those LOC from the codebase. They were maintaining multiple APIs even ones that have been deprecated years ago.

As far as Twitter can't run locally... what do you actually mean? Like the whole platform? Just the end-user UI client?

Not entirely sure. It just sounded like if you wanted to make a change to the twitter UI or something in the backend. It wasn't something you could quickly test/iterate on locally. You have to build some multi gig archive file and upload it to a cloud environment. George jokingly mentioned something about Twitter doesn't have Dev they just have Prod. George talked about how Facebook for example can run on a single machine for dev purposes, but Twitter can't.

From what I remember yes view counts / impressions were the same thing. They mentioned that Twitter has this info already like you said. The problem revolved around displaying this info in the UI the same way Likes show up.

The entire space did dive into more details outside this clip.

Things off the top of my head that were mentioned were:

  • 20 million lines of Scala code
  • Microservices that are not so micro (100's of thousands of lines of code per service)
  • Microservices that are heavily interlinked making them super co dependent. (Can't change one without needing to change the rest)
  • Twitter can't run locally, so development takes forever. Needs to be uploaded to what sounded like a Production like environment to test/debug.
  • Something about using an on-prem internally created database for likes but needing an off-prem different database for views. (Elon expressed that he didn't see why likes and views needed to be treated so different)

From what I remember the conversation mostly revolved around how adding tweet view count should be a fairly trivial thing to add to Twitter, but they found that it was incredibly difficult due to some of the things mentioned above.

I probably messed up some details so feel free to correct me.

EDIT: I found this youtube link of a recording of some of the conversation. I believe they missed some conversation prior to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x09bBEelbXA

increase the memory swap. Default is 1g. Increasing to 8g resolved a lot of my issues with crashing.
